Perimeter and area in a drawing note

Perimeter and area in a drawing note

Perimeter and area in a drawing note

(OP)
Hello,

I need to report the perimeter and area of a surface for a complicated extruded aluminum part on the drawing.  I have saved the values and they now show up as "sensors" that are parametric in the design tree, but I can't figure out how to put them into a note on the drawing.

My ultimate goal is to have perimeter and area for the extrusion appear in a note and be parametric so that they won't become incorrect in the future if the part's profile changes.

Thanks,
